Stiffer Dynalites.....
I opted to make the most of what I got by adding a bridge bolt to my Dynalites. It comes standard on the Dynalite narrow caliper so I figured what the hell it can't hurt and must surely stiffen the caliper. I added a 1" master and gutted sport rears brakes. That should keep me happy for a while.

I ordered the bolt, spacer and nut from summit. Let me work on part numbers for you guys. I did it to stiffen the caliper not for better pad retention. I had to shave down the top of my current pads to fit. Next time around I'll just order the correct ones.

Gutted rear is the process of removing the e-brake adjuster from the caliper. Lots of threads about this floating around. It helps keep the pedal high as the pads wear. The caliper now works like a standard one instead of a self adjuster style.

Sorry I can't seem to dig up the info. I ordered them through Summit Racing but there is no history available on there site.
IIRC I called Wilwood and got the part numbers from them and then ordered from Summit.

I looked through my e-mails too. I think I checked out as a "guest" hence no record of the transaction. I should have posted this last year when it was all fresh in front of me.
Not sure about doing the same to a dynapro. Call wilwood tech line and ask. They were super cool about helping me with what I needed.

FYI, the only references to "gutted rear calipers" that show up here are posts by you. It would be cool if you could discuss this mod more, since there definitely are not "lots of threads" out there on the topic.
